Just remember: keep it simple. Don't try to come out with long, grammatically perfect sen- tences when one or two words will get your meaning across. Inside the back cover of this book is a list of All-purpose phrases. Some will help you to make contact ~ greetings. “please’and thank you’, yes’ and ‘no’. Some are to get people to help you understand what they're saying to you. And some are questions like “do you have. . .?” and ‘where is... .?",to which you can add words from the Dictionary at the back of the book. The book is divided into sections for different situations, such as Road travel, Shopping, Health and so on. In each section you'll find © Useful tips and information @ Words and phrases that you'll see on signs or in print © Phrases you are likely to want to say © Things that people may say to you Many of the phrases can be adapted by simply using another word from the Dictionary. For instance, take the question GEsté lejos el aeropuerto? (Is the airport far away”). Ifyou want to know ifthe station is far away, just substitute Ia estacion (the station) for el aeropuerto to give {Esta lejos la estacién’? All the phrases have a simple pronunciation guide underneath based on English sounds - this is explained in Pronunciation (page 5). If you want some guidance on how the Spanish language works, see Basic grammar (page 172). lol=! There's a handy reference section (starts on page 182) which contains lists of days and months, countries and nationalities, general signs and notices that you'll see. conversion tables. national holidays, useful addresses and numbers. The 5,000-word Dictionary (page 202) comes in two sections - Spanish-English and English-Spanish. A concise list of numbers is printed inside the front cover for easy reference, and right at the end of the book is an Emergencies section (which we hope you won't have to use). Wherever possible, work out in advance what you want to say ~ if you're going shopping, for instance, write out a shopping list in Spanish. If you're buying travel tickets, work out howto say where you want to go. how many tickets you want, single or return, ete. Practise saying things out loud - the cassette that goes with this, book will help you to get used to the sounds of Spanish. Above all - don’t be shy! It'll be appreciated if you try to say a few words, even if it's only ‘good morning’ and ‘goodbye’ - and in fact those are the very sorts of phrases that are worth learn- ing, as you'll hear them and need to use them all the time. If you'd like to learn more Spanish. BBC Books also publishes When in Spain, Get by in Spanish and Espana Viva. BBC phrase books are also available for the following languages: French. German and Italian. Future titles include Arabic, Greek. Portuguese and Turkish. The authors would welcome any suggestions or comments about this book. but in the meantime, have a good trip ~ ibuen viaje! PRONUNCIATION You don't need perfect pronunciation to be able to communi- cate - it's enough to get the sounds approximately right and to stress the words in the correct place. If you want to hear real Spanish voices and practise trying to sound like them, then listen to the cassette. Spanish pronunciation is very regular - you can tell how a word is pronounced from the way it's written, once you know what sound each letter (or group of letters) represents. A pro- nunciation guide is given with the phrases in this book - the system is based on English sounds, as described below. Many Spanish consonants are pronounced in a similar way to English. The main differences are with c, g, b,j. If, qu, r,¥, 7. ‘Spanish vowels are pronounced the same wherever they occur (unlike English where each vowel can be pronounced in sev- eral distinct ways). For the Spanish alphabet, see page 8. Stress Except in the cases listed below, Spanish words are stressed on the last but one syllable: tengo, gustan, Fspatia, excursiones. The exceptions are: 1 Ifa word ends in a consonant other than nor s, the stress is on the last syllable: Madrid, acampar, espafol. 2 If there is a written accent, the stress is where the accent is: estacién, Malaga, café. In this book, a stressed syllable is shown in the pronunciation guide by bold type: estathyon, tengo.Vowels a au ai,ay e cisey i i(unstressed) ° oi, oy a u(before another vowel) but in que, qui, gue, gui Consonants b c followed by eo cotherwise ch a f gfollowed by eori Approx.
